Penelope is a cloud-based, open and modular platform that consists of tools and techniques for mapping landscapes of opinions expressed in online (social) media. The platform is used for analysing the opinions that dominate the debate on certain crucial social issues, such as immigration, climate change and national identity.
Penelope is part of the H2020 EU project ODYCCEUS (Opinion Dynamics and Cultural Conflict in European Spaces). The project seeks conceptual breakthroughs in Global Systems Science, including a fine-grained representation of cultural conflicts based on conceptual spaces and sophisticated text analysis, extensions of game theory to handle games with both divergent interests and divergent mindsets, and new models of alignment and polarization dynamics.
